1) I see that in case the "Chromecast fail 2123 Video.LOG" and "Chromecast fail 2123.LOG" the Nexus Player sends just "BUFFERING" without media info and then "LOAD_FAILED" after 2 minutes, I have fixed the code so that it is not erroneously considered as playing, i.e. it will skip to the next file when this happens. Fixed in 2124.

2) is fixed in 2124

3) Thanks for pointing this out, it has always been the issue (also for DLNA renderers) and nobody has ever noticed this??
=> Fixed in 2124

4) I guess that this is doable only for videos that are auto-converted (to WEBM by default), in that case we could choose the audio stream before the conversion, but mostly user chooses another stream during the playback, so the solution would be to terminate playback + auto-conversion and start new playback + auto-conversion and seek to the last position. Probably an item for MM 5.1. You can open a new issue for this (if there isn't already one) and assign to Michal with MM 5.1 target. The same applies for subtitles, mostly apps (e.g. Plex) transcodes the video stream to include the subtitles within the stream.

2. Verified 2124

4. OK, I'll evaluate and test with other apps for 5.1

Reopen for tweaking:
1. While connecting to Renderer or starting playback MM5 should indicate something is under work eg. Circle icon should be shown and if clicked Progress bar should contain "Connecting/Buffering to a xxxxxxxxx" or "Playback starting on xxxxxxxxx" and in case of internal player (I know it is instant usually, but it can give user some feedback where mm5 froze). Currently MM5 appear just frozen at 0:00 playtime.

3. This still fail (both on Music) if you switch from Renderer/Chromecast to internal player

1) Good point, added in build 2125

3) I cannot replicate, it always remembers the last bookmark after the fix in 2124 for me:

Tested these ways:
1) Set 'Enable bookmarking' for Music
2) Played a track using internal player and pressed Ctrl+O to stop the playback
3) Switched to 'Chromecast' and double-clicked the bookmarked file
=> playback started form the bookmarked position as expected
4) Left to play file until 3/4 of the file and pressed Ctrl+O to stop the playback
5) Switched to 'Internal Player' and double-clicked the bookmarked filr
=> playback start from the bookmarked position (3/4) as expected

I also tried to switch to the internal/external player while playing and this also recovers the bookmarked position as expected.

Could you please describe exact steps to replicate, mainly whether you are stopping playback between the player switching and how exactly are you stopping playback??
